Back in Sandy Straits......

As the weather had abated we left Pancake Creek on monday as planned heading for Bundaberg.

For a change a sunrise shot leaving Pancake Creek.....

Bustard Head lighthouse.......
The sea was quite good so it became an easier journey which is definiteley more enjoyable. Approaching Town of 1770 we saw a schooner which turned out to be Young Endeavour anchored just outside. Their blog says their on a run north from Brisbane.

Looking back at Round Hill Head........

So with the skipper with her feet on the wheel we were in safe hands!!!!!!

 Bundaberg was only a quick stop so we anchored just inside the approach for the night. As its supposed to be a pretty place to explore and is actually upstream we plan to spend more time here next year.
Tuesday we left early for the run to the Sandy Straits behind Frazer Island. After a while the weather got a bit rougher than we had thought but pressed on anyway, not as bad as St Bees thankfully. The nearer we got the calmer it became so we planned to anchor off Kingfisher Resort.

The reception was rather grand, which end to dig for the pot'o'gold............
We are moving down to South White Cliffs after lunch which is as far north as we had come in Avalon so its familiar territory from then on. A few days around Tin Can Bay to see friends and also because we love the place so much.
Brisbane is maybe a week away..................bumma.............
